The Mysterious Flame: Conscious Minds In A Material World | |||||
|
|
Rok: 1999
Hodnocení: AnotaceOne of our most original thinkers addresses the premier question of science and philosophy: Can consciousness be explained? Is consciousness nothing more than the result of neurons firing through brain tissue? Or is it, as some claim, a fundamental reality like space, time, and matter? In recent years, the nature of consciousness-our immediately known experience-has taken its place as the central, most profound problem in the scientific discourse. Now, in elegant prose, Colin McGinn brilliantly and accessibly tackles this most difficult of questions. Arguing that we can never truly know consciousness-that its mystery is beyond the power of the human intellect to grasp-McGinn demonstrates that accepting this limitation and embracing uncertainty can, in fact, open up a whole new field of investigation. Indeed he asserts that consciousness is the best place from which to begin to understand the makeup of human intelligence, to investigate our respective cognitive styles, strengths, and weaknesses, and to explore the possibility of machine minds. The Mysterious Flame will challenge readers with intriguing questions about the very nature of our minds and brains.. Dostupné zdroje
